Under armor is done. The tank plate is lower than I had hoped but the tank hangs lower than the frame on these so it is what it is. Once I get 35's on it again I should still have plenty of clearance. I have to move the oil and power steering coolers before the front hitch flip can be done. I am...
I picked up the Jolly Green today. A new nickname for my Expy. All the work is done except for the fuel tank armor and front hitch. I may have them add tube to the rock sliders as a step but we are taking it out tomorrow for a trail run to see how everything is working. I am scheduled for the...
@Vincent Vega - I am interested in the extended arms. Will they be producing upper and lower arms? I saw some extended arms built for the Toyota Taco and it seems simple enough however we have the massive aluminum lower that may make the design difficult to make strong enough with steel tube...
The sliders are on and the fuel tank and transfer case/transmission armor and rear Truetrac are going on over the next couple of days. The Trutrac is installed in the front diff and they also had to replace worn carrier bearings during the process. The front control arms are also installed and...
Yes we will have the unicorns on the trail but I don't mind the challenge. The armor will be bolt-on. I will get pics and measurements to share. Their fabricator figures it out on the fly so I will have to time my visits. I believe the skids will be 2x4 channel welded and I asked they bring them...
I am in the process of doing the same things you are. I was going to buy a used Rubicon but didn't want to say goodbye to $30K so I am going to spend $5K instead. My wife and I also want to be able to take family with us on trails and the Expy is the only rig I can think of that can manage it...
That happened to me when my left front wheel bearing was floppy enough to cause bad readings from the abs sensor. I'm sure there are many other possibilities for the light.
If you don't have a separate, and rather large trans cooler, your trans temps will get well over 200 deg. on long/steep grades. I know because I towed a 5500 lb travel trailer while monitoring trans temps. Standard trans fluid begins to break-down when it gets that hot. Those temps were seen...
To the OP, the hitch bars need grease at the pivot points and on the brackets. If you don't grease them they can get brittle from friction heating at the contact points on the hitch head and may eventually crack. This also reduces noise as an added benefit.
